By the time you read this (you are reading this, aren’t you?) the Donald Trump presidential Inauguration, or as I prefer to call it the Prelude to Armageddon, is in the history books. The ceremony was moved inside so the incoming criminal-in-chief wouldn’t be embarrassed by a small crowd size outside. For the sake of protocol, former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton will have attended the swearing in but won’t have attended the Presidential Breakfast or lunch or whatever you call the chow down afterwards. They must have figured once Trump opened his fat mouth, there’d be too much of a chance they’d barf on their shrimp cocktails. Michelle Obama had the good sense to skip the inauguration and whole tacky clown show afterwards.
Not to be left out of anything except the White House, Melania says her Be Best action campaign will target online bullying, which is exactly what her husband excels at. She won’t have far to go for rally material.
Even before he was sworn in, incoming felon Trump was stirring things up. One way was criticizing California governor Gavin Newsome and the democrats in general for California fire deaths. He conveniently forgets the hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 deaths he caused by refusing to do anything to prevent the spread of the virus for months, just saying it will magically go away by the summer.
All of the orange-faced blob’s unqualified and for the most part ethically challenged cabinet nominees will get approved (even Hulk Hogan) since the GOP members of Congress are quaking like Trump’s bulbous gut when he isn’t wearing his corset because they’re worried about his vengeful wrath coming down on them should they do anything to upset him, such as sticking to whatever principles they have left and for what they believe might be in the best interests of America.
The biggest hit to us in the great middle class will come from the Trump tariffs and his tax cuts for the rich. He, co-president Elon Musk, and other moneyed people in his administration (Hulk Hogan?) believe in resurrecting the failed trickle-down policy of Ronald Reagan: Cut taxes on those in the highest income brackets so they can pass along the savings by creating new jobs and raising the wages of workers (Insert a rim shot here). What a joke. All that did was make the rich richer, while a few pennies they accidentally dropped fell down to the rest of us, widening the wage gap between them and us as much as it was back in the late 19th and early 20th Century robber baron days.
The second big hit will come from the Trump Tariffs on imported goods. Wait until you MAGA voters out there see what necessities of life, such as giant screen TVs and hover boards, will cost you once those take effect. Just like the trickle down nonsense, who do you think will be paying the tariffs? With the tax cuts, the money has to come from somewhere. Any guesses? (Hint: It won’t be from Hulk Hogan).
And the tariffs have to be paid by someone. Any guesses? I don’t think you’ll see any billionaires shaking in their boots because of either of these things. Now I hear that those MAGA voters are panicking because they realize Trump is going to do what he promised to do on the campaign trail once he got in office. He’s such a total liar they never thought he would really come through with those promises they voted for would actually affect them. Too bad. They’ll be taking the hit with the rest of us who had the sense to think it through and look at the long-term effects. Take teachers and educators who voted for Trump, for instance. Once he figures out what education is, he plans to abolish the Department of Education, where the funds to keep educators employed come from. States can’t afford to pay the cost of education without government assistance, so there will be widespread layoffs and school closings. It will be the worst in the poorest states. Any extra money coming their way will go for other necessities first. The end result will be that the people who will get hit the hardest by felon-in-chief Trump’s policies are the very people who voted him back in office.
President Dumbo Don won’t be worried about money, though. He’s already launched his latest scam, some kind of crypto-currency, to fleece his followers. Like all of his other businesses and scams, this one will go down the tubes, even with Hulk Hogan’s crypto-picture on the crypto-coins.
